Mystery money man faces soliciting charge
By NICOLE JANOK
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
A part-time Palm Beacher who has
socialized with Donald Trump, Bill
Clinton and Kevin Spacey was jailed
early Sunday with accused drug dealers,
drunken drivers and wife beaters after
he was charged with soliciting a prosti¬
tute.
Manhattan money manager Jeffrey
Epstein, 53, was picked up at his home
on El Brillo Way at 1:45 a.m. He was
released hours later on $3,000 bond.
Epstein was indicted last week by a
state grand jury, according to state at¬
torneys spokesman Mike Edmondson.
Despite Epstein’s arrest, the indictment
containing the allegations remained
sealed Sunday and Edmondson provid¬
ed no details.
Unlike most accused johns, Epstein
was charged with a third-degree felony
instead of a misdemeanor. Under state
law, a solicitation charge usually is ele¬
vated to a more-serious felony when the
defendant has at least two solicitation
convictions.
However, checks of court records
here and in New York Sunday turned up
no such convictions.
Epstein could not be reached. F 1-
monason said he was being represented
by West Palm Beach attorney Jack
Goldberg, who declined comment
Epstein is the president of J Epstein
& Co., a money management company
based in Manhattan that caters to ujtra-

lished_ reports. National
magazines have described
him as a “mysterious billion¬
aire" who lives in a 45,000-
square-foot New York City
mansion.
He has been in trouble
before. In 1993, he and two
other defendants were
charged in federal-court with
three counts of postal larceny
and theft and one count of
property theft. Epstein plead
guilty to a single charge of
conspiring to steal U.S.
Treasury checks from resi¬
dential . mailboxes and re¬
ceived 5 years’ probation.
The remaining charges were

Since then, Epstein’s
name has turned up in New

ident Clinton and Kevin
Spacey to Africa on his pri¬
vate Boeing 72 7. In 2003, the
paper dubbed him one of the

Indictment: Billionaire solicited 3 times
Palm Beach police mil report
today about their prostitution
probe of the money manager.
By LARRY KEU.ER
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Billionaire money manager and
Palm Beach part-time resident Jeffrey
Epstein- solicited orprocured prostitutes
three or more times between Aug. 1 and
Oct 31 of last year, according to an in¬
dictment charging him with felony so¬
licitation of prostitution.
Epstein, 53, was booked at the Palm
Beach County jail at 1:45 a.m. Sunday.
He was released on $3,000 bond.
Epstein’s case is unusual in that
suspected prostitution johns are usually
charged with a misdemeanor, and. even
a felony charge is typically made in a
criminal information — an alternative to
an indictment charging a person with
the commission of a .
crime. ~ ,
His attorney. Jack ^ *
Goldberger, declined to \ ^
discuss flie charge. I ** '
State attorney’s of- V
fice spokesman Mike m - •* I
Edmondson also had j\ y t\
little to say. L_A — :.1Z
“Generally speak- Epstein
in g, there is a case that
has a number of different aspects to it,"
Edmondson said of a prostitution-
related charge being submitted to a
grand jury. ‘We first became aware of
the case months ago by Palm Beach
police."
Prosecutors and police worked to¬
gether to bring the case to the grand
jury, he said.
Palm Beach police confirmed that
and said the department will release a
report today regarding its investigation.
Epstein has owned a five-bedroom,
7’A-bath, 7,234-square-foot home with a
pool and a boat dock on the Intracoastal
Waterway since 1990, according to
property records. A man answering the
door there Monday said that Epstein
wasn’t home. A Cadillac Escalade reg¬
istered to him was parked in the drive¬
way, which is flanked by two massive
gargoyles.
Epstein Pued Profterty Appraiser
Gary NikoHts in 2001, contending that
the assessment of his home exceeded
its fair market value. He dismissed his
lawsuit in December 2002.
A profile of Epstein in Vanity Fair
magazine said he owns what are be¬
lieved to be the largest private homes in
Manhattan — 51,000 square feet — and
in New Mexico — a 7,500-acre ranch.
Those are in addition to his 70-acre is¬
land in the U.S. Virgin Islands and fleet
of aircraft
Epstein’s friends and admirers, ac¬
cording to the magazine, include prom¬
inent businessmen, academics and sci¬
entists and famed Harvard lawprofessor
Alan Dershowitz.

Police kept watch on home, airport, sifted through trash

suggesting the county’s top
prosecutor disqualify himself.
“I must urge you to ex¬
amine the unusual course that
your office’s handling of this
^■atter has taken and consider
{fergood and sufficient reason
exists to require your dis¬
qualification from the prose¬
cution of these cases,” Reiter
wrote in a May 1 memo to
Krischer.
While not commenting
specifically on the Epstein
case, Mike Edmondson,
spokesman for the state at¬
torney, said his office pre¬
sents cases other than mur¬
ders to a grand jury when
there are questions about
witnesses’ credibility and
their ability to testify.
By the nature of their jobs,
police officers look at evi-
-***'»nee from a “one-sided per-
^..pective,” Edmondson said.
“A prosecutor has to look at it
in a much broader fashion,”
weighing the veracity of wit-
, nesses and how they may fare
under defense attorneys’
questioning, he said.
Epstein’s attorney, Jack
Goldberger, said his client
committed no crimes.
‘The reports and state¬
ments in question refer to
false accusations that were
not charged because the Palm
Beach County state attorney
questioned the credibility of
the witnesses,” Goldberger
said. A county grand jury
“found the allegations wholly
unsubstantiated and not
credible,” and that’s why his
client was not charged with
sexual activity with minors,
he said.
Goldberger said Epstein
passed a lie detector test ad¬
ministered by a reputable
polygraph examiner in which
he said he did not know the
girls were minors. Also, a
search warrant served on
Epstein’s home found no evi¬
dence to corroborate the
girls’ allegations, Goldberger
said.
According to police docu¬
ments:
■ A Palm Beach Commu¬
nity College student said she
gave Epstein a massage in the
nude, then brought him six
girls, ages 14 to 16, for mas¬
sage and sex-tinged sessions
at his home.
■ A 27-year-old woman
who worked as Epstein’s
personal assistant also facili¬
tated the liaisons, phoning
the PBCC student to arrange
for girls when Epstein was
coming to town. And she es¬
corted the girls upstairs when
they arrived, putting fresh
sheets on a massage table and
placing massage oils nearby.
■ Police took sworn
statements from five alleged
victims and 17 witnesses.
They contend that on three
occasions, Epstein had sex
with the girls.

Chief Michael Reiter wrote to

on the Epstein case.

A money manager for the
ultra-rich, Epstein was named
one of New York’s most eligi¬
ble bachelors in 2003 by The
New York Post. He reportedly
hobnobs with the likes of
former President Clinton,
former Harvard University
President Lawrence Sum¬
mers and Donald Trump, and
has lavish homes in Manhat¬
tan, New Mexico and the Vir¬
gin Islands.
He has contributed tens of
thousands of dollars to Dem¬
ocratic Party candidates and
organizations, including Sen.
John Kerry’s presidential bid,
and the Senate campaigns of
Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clin¬
ton, Christopher Dodd and
Charles Schumer.
Goldberger is one of five
attorneys Epstein has re¬
tained since he became the
subject of an investigation,
Edmondson said. Among the
others: Alan Dershowitz, the
well-known Harvard law pro¬
fessor and author, who is a
friend of Epstein. Dershowitz
could not be reached for
comment
Police said the woman
who enlisted young girls for
Epstein was Haley Robson,'
20, of Royal Palm Beach.
Robson has worked at an Ol¬
ive Garden restaurant in
Wellington and said she was a
journalism major at Palm
Beach Community College
when she was questioned by
police last October. She has
an unlisted phone number
and could not be reached for
comment
Robson said she met Ep¬
stein when, at age 17, a friend
asked her if she would like to
make money giving him a
massage. She said she was
driven to his five-bedroom,
7!^-bath home on the Intra-
coastal Waterway, then es¬
corted upstairs to a bedroom
with a massage table and oils.
Epstein and Robson were
both naked during the mas¬
sage, she said, but when he
grabbed her buttocks, she
said she didn’t want to be
touched.
Epstein said he’d pay her
to bring him more girls — the
younger the better, Robson
told police. When she tried
once to bring a 23-year-old
woman to him, Epstein said
she was too old, Robson said.
Robson, who has not been
charged in the case, said she
eventually brought she girls to
Epstein who were paid $200
each time, Robson said. “I’m
like a Heidi Fleiss,” police
quoted her as saying. The
girls knew what to expect
when they were taken to Ep¬
stein’s home, Robson said.
Give a massage — maybe na¬
ked — and allow some
touching.
One 14-year-old girl Rob¬
son took to meet Epstein led
police to start the investiga¬
tion of him in March 2005. A
relative of the girl called to say
she thought the child had re¬
cently engaged in sex with a
Palm Beach man. The girl
then got into a fight with a
classmate who accused her of
being a prostitute, and she
couldn’t explain why she had
$300 in her purse.
The girl gave police this
account of her meeting with
Epstein:
She accompanied Robson
and a second girl to Epstein’s
house on a Sunday in Febru¬
ary 2005. Once there, a wom¬
an she thought was Epstein’s
assistant told the girl to follow
her upstairs to a room featur¬
ing amural of a naked woman,
several photographs of naked
women on a shelf, a hot pink
and green sofa and a massage
table.
She stripped to her bra
and panties and gave him a
massage.
Epstein gave the 14-year-
old $300 and she and the oth¬
er girls left, she said. She said
Robson told her that Epstein
paid her $200 that day.
Other girls told similar
stories. In most accounts,
Epstein’s personal assistant at
the time, Sarah Kiellen, now
27, escorted the girls to Ep¬
stein’s bedroom.
Kellen, whose most re¬
cent known address is in
North Carolina, has not been
charged in the case.
Palm Beach police often
conducted surveillance of
Epstein’s home, and at Palm
Beach International Airport
to see if his private jet was
there, so they would know
when he was in town. Police
also arranged repeatedly to
receive his trash from Palm
Beach sanitation workers,
collecting papers with names
and phone numbers, sex toys
and female hygiene products.
One note stated that a fe¬
male could not come over at 7
p.m. because of soccer. An¬
other said a girl had to work
Sunday — “Monday after
school?” And still another
note contained the work
hours of a girl, saying she
leaves school at 11:30 a.m.
and would come over the next
day at 10:30 a.m.
Only three months before
the police department probe
began, Epstein donated
$90,000 to the department for
the purchase of a firearms
simulator, said Jane Struder,
town finance director. The
purchase was never made.
The money was returned to
Epstein on Monday, she said.

Police say

Famed Harvard law professor Alan

vided damaging information about teen¬
age girls who say they gave his client,
Palm Beach billionaire Jeffrey Epstein,
sexually charged massages, according to

The reports also state that another
Epstein attorney agreed to a plea bargain
that would have allowed Epstein to have no
criminal record. His current attorney de¬
nies this happened.

father of at least one girl complained that
private investigators aggressively fol¬

using the name “Pimpin’
Made EZ.” Robson, who was
not charged in the case, is a
potential prosecution wit¬
ness.
According to Recarey,
prosecutor Lanna Belohlavek
offered Epstein attorneys
Dershowitz and GuyFronstin
a plea deal in April. Fronstin,
after speaking with Epstein,
accepted the deal, in which
Epstein would plead guilty to
one count of aggravated as¬
sault with intent to commit a
felony, be placed on five
years’ probation and have no
criminal record. The deal al¬
so called for Epstein to sub¬
mit to a psychiatric and sex¬
ual evaluation and have no
unsupervised visits with mi¬
nors, according to Recarey’s
report. The plea bargain was
made in connection with only
one of the five alleged vic¬
tims, the report states.
Fronstin — who declined
to comment on the case —
was subsequently fired and
.veteran defense attorney
Jack Goldberger was hired.
He denies there was any
agreement by any of Ep¬
stein’s attorneys to a plea
deal.
“We absolutely did not
agree to a plea in tins case,”
he said. Neither Belohlavek
nor a state attorney’s
spokesman could be reached
for comment
The parent or parents of
alleged victims who com¬
plained of being harassed by
private investigators provid¬
ed license tag numbers of two
of the men. Police found the
vehicles were registered to a
private eye in West Palm
Beach and another in Jupiter,
according to Recarey’s re¬
port.
“I have no knowledge of
it,” defense attorney Gold¬
berger said.
The report also says a
woman connected to the Ep¬
stein case was contacted by
somebody who was still in
touch with Epstein. That
person told her she would be
compensated if she didn’t
cooperate with police, Re¬
carey’s report says. Those
who did talk “will be dealt
with,” the woman said she
was told. Phone records
show the woman talked with
the person who allegedly in¬
timidated her around the
time she said, Recarey re¬
ported.
Phone records also show
that the person said -to have
made the threat then placed a
call to Epstein’s personal as¬
sistant, who in turn called a
New York corporation affili¬
ated with Epstein, the report
states.
The issue in the Epstein
case is not whether females
came to his waterfront home,
but whether he knew their
ages.
“He’s never denied girls
came to the house,” Gold¬
berger said. But when Ep¬
stein was given a polygraph
test, “he passed on knowl¬
edge of age,” the attorney
said.
After the indictment
against Epstein was unsealed
this week, Police Chief Reiter
referred the matter to the
FBI. “We’ve received the re¬
ferral, and we’re reviewing
it,” said FBI spokeswoman
Judy Orihuela in Miami.
The chief himself has
come under attack from Ep¬
stein’s lawyers and friends in
New York, where he has a
home. The New York Post
quoted Epstein’s prominent
New York lawyer, Gerald
Lefcourt, as saying his client
was indicted only “because of
the craziness of the police
chief.”
Reiter has declined to
comment on the case. ,
Prosecutors have not
presented a sex-related case
like Epstein’s to a grand jury
before, said Mike Edmond¬
son, spokesman for the state
attorney’s office. “That’s what
you do with a case that fells
into a gray area,” he said.
The state attorney’s office
did not recommend a partic¬
ular criminal charge on
which to indict Epstein, Ed¬
mondson said. The grand ju¬
ry was presented with a list of
charges from highest to low¬
est, then deliberated with the
prosecutor out of the room,
he said.
“People are surprised at
the grand jury proceeding,”
West Palm Beach defense
attorney Richard Tendler
said. “It’s a way for the pros¬
ecutor’s office to not take the
full responsibility for not fil¬
ing the (charge), and not do¬
ing what the Palm Beach Po¬
lice Department wanted. I
think something fell apart
with those underage wit¬
nesses.”
Defense attorney Robert
Gershman was a prosecutor
for six years. “Those girls
must have been incredible or
untrustworthy, I don’t know,”
he said.
Other attorneys said Ep¬
stein’s case raises the issue of
whether wealthy, connected
defendants like Epstein —
whose friends include former
President Clinton and
Donald Trump — are treated
differently from others. Once
he knew he was the subject of
a criminal probe, Epstein
hired a phalanx of powerful
attorneys such as Dershowitz
and Lefcourt, who is a past
president of the National As:
sociation of Criminal Defense
Lawyers.
Miami lawyer Roy Black
— who became nationally
known when he successfully
defended William Kennedy
Smith on a rape charge in
Palm Beach — also was in¬
volved at one point
Said defense attorney
Michelle Suskauer: “I think
it’s unfortunate the public
may get the perception that
with power, you may be
treated differently than the
average Joe.”

He was over 50. And they were girls
If the women whom Palm Beach
police say a part-time town resident
invited to his home and paid for
sex acts were, in fact, women, the
solicitation charge against Jeffrey
Epstein might feel more sufficient
But, according to police records,
they weren’t. He was over 50. And
they were girls.
14.

17-year-old girls.
That should
count for some¬
thing — the dif¬
ference between
Elisa prostitution and
Cramer pedophilia.
So, it is baffling
that Mr. Epstein, who was indicted
last month by a grand jury on one
felony count of solicitation of pros¬
titution, has not been changed, as
Palm Beach police strenuously
urged, with unlawful sex acts with
a minor and lewd and lascivious
molestation.
Conviction of crimes against mi¬
nors would mean steeper penalties
than the maximum five-year prison
term Mr. Epstein faces if convicted
of the single count of felony solicita¬
tion. It also would help carry a mes¬
sage of intolerance to perverts who
prey on girls.
Prosecutors did not pursue charg¬
es against Mr Epstein reflecting
the age of the victims because they
assumed a jury would view the girls
not as victims but as promiscuous,
untrustworthy, willing participants.
The presumption is offensive.
Mr Epstein, a 53-year-old Man¬
hattan money manager who has
hired Harvard law professor Alan
Dershowitz and defense attor¬
ney Jack Goldberger, has denied
knowing how old the girls were.
Jury should have decided
if Epstein is a pedophile .
But police interviews with five
alleged victims and 17 witnesses
under oath, as well as phone mes¬
sages, a high school transcript and
other items that police found from
searching Mr Epstein’s trash and
7,234-square-foot waterfront home,
provide evidence that he knew the
girls were teenagers.
One girl couldn’t show up when
Mr. Epstein wanted because she
had soccer. Another time, Mr. Ep¬
stein had to wait for his “massage”
session because the girl he wanted
was still in class.
Why didn’t State Attorney Barry
Krischer let a jury decide whether
to believe the teenagers — in¬
cluding a 16-year-old who went to
Mr. Epstein’s house to “work” in
December 2004 after being asked
whether she needed to make money
for Christmas gifts?
Prosecutors gave greater weight
to the details Mr. Dershowitz pro¬
vided about the girls in an apparent
effort to assail their character. Mr.
Dershowitz pointed out to prosecu¬
tors that some of the teenagers had
talked on myspace.com about mari¬
juana and alcohoi use.
The 20-year-old Royal Palm
Beach woman who told police she
recruited girls for Mr. Epstein has
a Web page on myspace.com that
features one girl using the name
“Pimpin’ Made EZ.”
Although no charges of witness
tampering have been filed, the par¬
ents of at least one of the teenage
victims complained to police of be¬
ing followed and intimidated by two
men. Police determined that their
vehicles were registered to two pri¬
vate investigators. Mr. Goldberger
denied knowing anything about it.
Police also note in their reports
that the state attorney’s office of- '
fered Mr. Epstein a plea deal that
would have placed him on proba¬
tion for five years, allowing him
ultimately to walk away with no
criminal record at all.
I asked Mr. Krischer’s spokes¬
man, Mike Edmondson, why the
case was referred to a grand jury in-
■ stead of Mr. Epstein being charged
and facing a trial before a jury. And
shouldn’t the victims’ credibility
be a factor to determine whether a
crime’s been committed, not wheth¬
er a jury will convict? (After all, as
Mr. Goldbeiger told The Palm Beach
Post of Mr. Epstein, “He’s never de¬
nied girls came to the house.”)
Especially, I asked Mr Edmond¬
son to explain: Why shouldn’t the
public look at this case and think
there are two kinds of justice — one
for the wealthy and one for the rest
of us?
Mr. Edmondson said he could
not comment on the case because it
is active, but on the latter point, he
offered, for the sake of “philosophi¬
cal debate”: “Whether wealth buys a * »
different standard of justice across Wy/<£) y
the country ... the answer to that
would, of course, be yes.”
But in this case, he said, "regard¬
less of the battery of attorneys, the
outcome would be the same. Every
issue that was debated in public was
debated in our office before this '
case went to the grand jury.”
In this case, it is not the victims’ •
credibility but the state attorney’s
that deserves questioning.

his current job, has returned
$10,000 to him because of the
Palm Beach scandal, the New
York Daily News has reported.
Rather than file charges,
the state attorney’s office
presented the case to a
county grand jury. The panel
indicted Epstein last week on
a single, less serious charge
of felony solicitation of pros¬
titution.
The case raised eyebrows
because the state attorney’s
office rarely, if ever, kicks
such charges to a grand jury.
And it increases the difficulty
of prosecuting child sex
abuse cases, especially when
the defendant is enormously
wealthy and can hire high-
priced, top-tier lawyers.
At least one of Epstein’s
alleged victims told police he
knew she was underage
when the two of them got
naked for massages and sex¬
ual activity. She was 16 years
old at the time and said Ep¬
stein asked her questions
about her high school, ac¬
cording to police reports.
A girl who. said she met
Epstein when she was 15 said
he told her if she told any¬
body what happened at his
house, bad things could hap¬
pen, the police reports state.
Epstein’s youngest al¬
leged victim was 14 when she
says she gave him a massage
that included some sexual
activity. She is now 16. The
girl’s father says he doesn’t
know whether she told Ep¬
stein her age.
“My daughter has kept a
lot of what happened from me
because of sheer embarrass¬
ment,” he said. “But she very
much looked 14. Any prudent
man would have had second
thoughts about that”
Defense attorney Jack
Goldberger maintains that
not only did Epstein pass a
polygraph test showing he
did not know the girls were
minors, but their stories
weren't credible. The state
attorney’s office also implied
that their credibility was an
issue when it decided not to
charge Epstein directly, but
instead give the case to the
grand jury.
“A prosecutor has to look
at it in a much broader fash¬
ion,” a state attorney’s
spokesman said last week.
Epstein hired Harvard
law Professor Alan Der-
showitz when . he became
aware he was under investi¬
gation, and Dershowitz gave
prosecutors information that
some of the alleged victims
had spoke of using alcohol
and marijuana on a popular
Web site, according to a Palm
Beach police report
Prosecutors typically
consider two things in decid¬
ing whether to charge some¬
body with sex-related offens¬
es againstminors — whether
there is sufficient evidence
and whether there is a public
interest in doing so, Dekle
said.
Child sex abuse cases
often are difficult
to prosecute, an
attorney says.
If two teens are in a sexual
relationship and the boy
turns 18 before the girl, he
could be charged with a sex
crime if the sex continues.
There would be no public in¬
terest in pursuing that, Dekle
said.
But where there is a large
gap in ages — and especially
in cases of teachers with stu¬
dents — there is a public in¬
terest in prosecuting, he said,
likewise if the accused has a
track record of sex with mi¬
nors.
Still there is a “universal
constant” in prosecuting
these cases, Delde said. Men
who exploit underage chil¬
dren for sex often carefully
choose their victims in ways
. that will minimize the risk to
them, he said.
Victims usually are from a
lower social status, and they
may suffer from psychologi¬
cal problems, Dekle said.
“Lots of child sexual
abuse victims have been vic¬
timized by multiple people
over a period of time. Then
the act of abuse produces
behavior in the victims that
further damages their credi¬
bility.” Examples include
promiscuous behavior and
drug abuse.
Some of the alleged vic¬
tims in the Epstein case re¬
turned to his home multiple
times for the massage ses¬
sions and the $200 to $300 he
typically paid them per visit
“That would be a definite
-problem for the prosecutor,”
said Betty Resch, who prose¬
cuted crimes against children
in Palm Beach County for five
years and now is in private
practice in Lake Worth.
“The victim becomes less
sympathetic” to a jury, Resch
said. “But she’s a victim nev¬
ertheless. She’s a kid.”
Most men charged with
sex crimes against minors
look normal, Dekle said. A
jury expecting to see a mon¬
ster seldom will. And the vic¬
tims’ ages work against them
and in favor of the defendant
in a trial, Dekle said.
If a child and an adult tell
different stories and both
swear they’re telling the
truth, adult jurors are more
likely to believe the adult,
Dekle said.
“You have all these tilings
workingagainstyou in a child
sex abuse case. Prosecutors
normally try to be very care¬
ful in filing those cases be¬
cause they know what they’re
getting into. There is no such
tiling as an iron-clad child
sexual abuse case.”

First, he pressed for Epstein

serious crimes of sexual ac¬

slammed State Attorney Bar-
ly-Krischer in blunt language
seldom used by one law-
eJtforcement official con¬
cerning another because of
what he perceived as that of¬
fice’s mishandling of the
case.
-'In a letter to Krischer
Mffitten May 1, Reiter called
his actions in the Epstein
case “highly unusual.” He
added, “I must urge you to. . .
consider if good and suffi¬
cient reason exists to require

county’s top prosecutor for
the past 13 years that he
ought to get off the case. “It
■looks like a departure from
professionalism,” Miaml-

whether the super-rich,
super-connected defendant
had violated any federal laws.
Reiter won’t discuss the

at him. But others almost
uniformly use one word to
describe the chief, profes¬

“I have always been im¬
pressed by Mike’s profes¬

of the Lantana Police Depart¬

$144,000 sal¬
ary.
Juno Beach Police Chief
H.C. Clark II agreed. Al¬
though he doesn’t know Re¬
iter well, he has met with him
on countywide law enforce¬
ment issues. “I’ve never seen
him lose his cool. I’ve never
seen anything but a profes¬
sional demeanor from him.”
Reiter joined the Palm
Beach Police Department in
1981, leaving a $20,000-a-year
patrol job at the University of
Pittsburgh. His personnel
jacket shows consistently ex¬
cellent job evaluations.
Posh Palm Beach is no
hotbed of crime, and in his
first year on the job, a resi¬
dent confined to his home
with a sick child thanked Re¬
iter for delivering a few Cokes
to the house. Reiter refused
payment for the beverages.
Another resident thanked
Reiter for shutting off his
car’s headlights in his drive¬
way, saying a valet must have
been at fault.
Reiter worked everything
from road patrol to organized
crime, vice and narcotics.
And he’s no novice at investi¬
gations involving the island’s
rich and famous. He was the
lead detective probing the
drug overdose death of David
Kennedy in 1984. He also was
one of the officers who
worked the investigation of
William Kennedy Smith, who
was charged in 1991 — and
later acquitted — with raping

Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion at 358 El Briilo Way.
Jeffrey Epstein craved big homes, elite friends
and, investigators say, underage girls
By ANDREW MARRA, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
03956-80
Jeffrey Epstein has donated more than $100,000
to Democratic candidates’ campaigns, including John Kerry’s presidential bid,
the reelection campaign of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson and the Senate bids
of Joe Lieberman, Hillary Clinton, Christopher Dodd and Charles Schumer.
WINGED GARGOYLES guarded the gate at Jeffrey
Epstein's Palm Beach mansion. Inside, hidden cameras
trolled two rooms, while the girls came and went.
For the police detectives
who sifted through the gar¬
bage outside and kept
records of visitors, it was the
lair of a troubling target.
Epstein, one of the most
mysterious of the country’s
mega-rich, was known as
much for his secrecy as for
his love of fine things: mag¬
nificent homes, private jets,
beautiful women, friendships
with the world’s elite.
But at Palm Beach police
headquarters, he was be¬
coming known for something
else: the regular arrival of
teenage girls he hired to give
him massages and, police
say,' perform sexual favors.
Epstein was different
from most sexual abuse sus¬
pects; he was far more pow¬
erful. He counted among his
friends former President Bill
Clinton, Donald Trump and
Prince Andrew, along with
some of the most prominent
legal, scientific and business
minds in the country.

If Palm Beach police didn’t know
quite who Jeffrey Epstein was, they
found out soon enough.
Epstein, now 53, was a quintes¬
sential man of mystery. He amassed
his fortune and friends quietly,
always in the background as he
navigated New York high society.
When he first attracted notice in
the early 1990s, it was on account of
the woman he was dating: Ghislaine
Maxwell, daughter of the late British
media tycoon Robert Maxwell.
In a lengthy article, headlined
"The Mystery of Ghislaine Max¬
well's Secret Love,” the British Mail
on Sunday tabloid laid. out specula¬
tive stories that the socialite’s beau
was a CIA spook, a math teacher, a
concert pianist or a corporate head¬
hunter.
“But what is the truth about
him?” the newspaper wondered.
“Like Maxwell, Epstein is both
flamboyant and intensely private.”
The media frenzy did not begin
in full until a decade later. In Sep¬
tember 2002, Epstein was flung into
the limelight when he flew Clinton
and actors Kevin Spacey and Chris
Tucker to Africa on his private jet
Suddenly everyone wanted to
know who Epstein was. New York
magazine and Vanity Fair published
lengthy profiles. The New York Post
listed him as one of the city’s most
eligible bachelors and began
describing him in its gossip columns
with adjectives such as “mysterious”
and “reclusive.”
Although Epstein gave no inter¬
views, the broad strokes of his past
started to come into focus.
Building a life of extravagance
He was bom blue-collar in 1953,
the son of a New York City parks
department employee, and raised in
Brooklyn’s Coney Island neighbor¬
hood. He left college without a
bachelor’s degree but became a
math teacher at the prestigious
Dalton School in Manhattan.
The story goes that the fattier of
one of Epstein’s students was so
impressed with the man that he put
him in touch with a senior partner at
Bear Steams, the global investment
bank and securities firm.
In 1976, Epstein left Dalton for a
job at Bear Steams. By the early
1980s, he had started J. Epstein and
Co. That is when he began making
his millions in earnest
er.
/ It has been estimated he has
roughly 15 clients, but their identi¬
ties are the subject of only specula¬
tion. All except for one: Leslie Wex-
ner, founder of The limited retail
chain and a former Palm Beacher
who is said to have been a mentor to
Epstein.
■|j Wexner sold Epstein one of his
most lavish residences: a massive
townhouse that dominates a block
on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. It
is reported to have, among its finer
features, closed-circuit television
and a heated sidewalk to melt away
fallen snow.
That townhouse, thought to be
the largest private residence in
Manhattan, is only a piece of the
extravagant world Epstein built over
time.
In New Mexico, he constructed a
27,000-square-foot hilltop mansion
on a 10,000-acre ranch outside Santa
Fe. Many believed it to be the largest
home in the state.
In Palm Beach, he bought a
waterfront home on El Brillo Way.
And he owns a 100-acre private
island in the "Virgin Islands.
Perhaps as remarkable as his
lavish homes is his extensive net¬
work of friends and associates at the
highest echelons of power. This
includes not only socialites but also
business tycoons, media moguls,
politicians, royalty and Nobel Prize¬
winning scientists whose research
• he often funds.
“Just like other people collect
art, he collects scientists,” said
Martin Nowak, who directs the
Program for Evolutionary Dynamics
at Harvard University and was
reportedly the recipient of a $30
million research donation from .
Epstein.
Epstein is said to have
befriended former Harvard Presi¬
dent Larry Summers, prominent law
Professor Alan Dershowitz, Donald
Trump and New York Daily News
Publisher Mort Zuckerman..
And yet he managed for decades
to maintain a low profile. He avoids
eating out and was rarely photo-
-gro’phed.
“The odd thing is I never met
him," said Dominick Dunne, the
famous chronicler of the trials and
tribulations of the very rich. “I wasn’t
even aware of him,” except foi\a
Vanity Fair article.
Epstein’s friendship with Clinton
has attracted the most attention.
Epstein met Clinton as early as
1995, when he paid tens of thou¬
sands of dollars to join him at an
intimate fund-raising dinner in Palm
Beach. But from all appearances,
they did not become close friends
until after Clinton left the Oval Office
and moved to New York.
Epstein has donated more than
$100,000 to Democratic candidates'
campaigns, including John Kelly’s
presidential bid, the reelection
campaign of New Mexico Gov. Bill
Richardson and the Senate bids of
Joe lieberman, Hillary Rodham
Clinton, Christopher Dodd and
Charles Schumer.
Powerful friends and enemies
A Vanity Fair profile found
cracks in the veneer of Epstein’s life
story. The 2003 article said he left
Bear Stearns in the wake of a federal
probe and a possible Securities and
Exchange Commission violation. It
also pointed out that Citibank once
sued him for defaulting on a $20
million loan.
The article suggested that one of
his business mentors and previous
employers was Steven Hofferiberg,
now serving a prison term after
Tjilidng investors out of more than
$450 million in one of the largest
Ponzi schemes in American histo¬
ry.”
As he amassed his wealth,
Epstein made enemies in disputes
both large and small He sued the
man who in 1990 sold him his
multimillion-dollar Palm Beach
home over a dispute about less than
$^6,000 in furnishings.
03956-83
^nner friend claimed Epstein
out of a promise to reim¬
burse him hundreds of thousands of
dollars after their failed investment
in Texas oil wells. A judge decided
Epstein owed him nothing.
“It’s a bad memory. I would
rather not have ever met Jeffrey
Epstein,” said Michael Stroll, the
retired former president of Williams
Electronics and Sega Corp. “Suffice
it to say I have nothing good to say
about him.”
Among the characteristics most
attributed to Epstein is a penchant
for women.
He has been linked to Maxwell,
a fixture on the high-society party
circuits in both New York and Lon¬
don. Previous girlfriends are said to
include a former Ms. Sweden and a
Romanian model.
“He's a lot of fun to be with,”
Donald Trump told New York maga-
zine in 2002. “It is even said that he
likes beautiful women as much as I
do, and many of them are on the
younger side. No doubt about it,
Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
Investigation leads to Epstein
Although he was not a fre¬
quenter of the Palm Beach social
scene, he made his presence felt
Among his charitable donations, he
gave $90,000 to the Palm Beach
Police Department and $100,000 to
Ballet Florida,
In Palm Beach, he lived in luxu¬
ry. Three black Mercedes sat in his
garage, alongside a green Harley-
Uavidson. His jet waited at a hangar
at Palm Beach International Airport-
At home, a private chef and a small
staff stood at the ready. From a
window in his mansion, he could
look out on tlie Intracoastal Water¬
way and the West Palm Beach sky¬
line. He seemed to be a man who
had everything.
But extraordinary wealth can

I fuel extraordinary desires.
In March 2005, a worried mother
ntacted Palm Beach police. She
said another parent had overheard a
conversation between their chil¬
dren.
Now the mother was afraid her
14-year-old daughter had been
molested by a man on the island.
The phone call triggered an
extensive investigation, one that
' would lead detectives to Epstein but
• f leave them frustrated.
Palm Beach police and the state
attorney’s office have declined to
discuss file case. But a Palm Beach
police report detailing the criminal
probe offers a window into what
detectives freed as they sought to
close in on Epstein,
j Detectives interviewed the girl,
j who told them a friend had invited
her to a rich man’s house to perform
■ a massage. She said the fiiend told
her to say she was 18 if asked. At the
house, she said she was paid $300
after stripping to her panties and
massaging the man while he mas¬
turbated.
Police interview 5 alleged victims
The investigation began in full
after the girl identified Epstein in a
photo as the man who had paid her.
Police arranged for garbage trucks
to set aside Epstein’s trash so police
could sift through it They set up a
video camera to record the comings
and goings at his home. They mon¬
itored an airport hangar for signs of
his private jet’s arrivals and depar¬
tures.
They quickly learned that the
woman who took the 14-year-old girl
to Epstein’s house was Haley Rob¬
son, a Palm Beach Community Col¬
lege student from Loxahatehee. In a
sworn statement at police head¬
quarters, Robson, then 18, admitted
she had taken at least six girls to visit
Epstein, all between the ages of 14
and 16. Epstein paid her for each
visit, she said.
During the drive back to her
house, Robson told detectives, “I’m
like a Heidi Fleiss.”
Police interviewed five alleged
victims and 17 witnesses. Their
report shows some of the girls said
they had been instructed to have sex
with another woman in front of
Epstein, and one said she had direct
intercourse with him.
In October, police searched the
Palm Beach mansion. They discov¬
ered photos of naked, young-looking
females, just as several of the girls
had described in interviews. Hidden
cameras were found in the garage
area and inside a clock on Epstein's
desk, alongside a girl’s high school
transcrinti
Two of Epstein’s former
employees told investigators that
young-looking girls showed up to
perform massages two or three
times a day when Epstein was in
town.
They said the girls were permit¬
ted many indulgences. A chef
cooked for them. Workers gave
them rides and handed out hun¬
dreds of dollars at a time.
One employee told detectives he
was told to send a dozen roses to one
teenage girl after a high school
drama performance. Others were
given rental cars. One, according to
police, received a $200 Christmas
bonus.
The cops moved to cement their
case. But as they tried to tighten the
noose, they encountered other
forces at work.
In Orlando they interviewed a
possible victim who told them noth¬
ing inappropriate had happened
between her and Epstein. They
asked her whether she had spoken
to anyone else. She said yes, a pri¬
vate investigator had asked her the
same questions.
When they subpoenaed one of
Epstein’s former employees, he told
them the same thing. He and a pri¬
vate eye had met atarestaurant days
earlier to go over what the man
would tell investigators.
Detectives received complaints
that private eyes were posing as
police officers. When they told
Epstein’s local attorney, Guy Frons-
tin, he said the investigators worked
for Roy Black, the high-powered
Miami lawyer who has defended the
likes of Rush Limbaugh and William
Kennedy Smith.
While the private eyes were
conducting a parallel investigation,
Dershowitz, the Harvard law pro¬
fessor, traveled to West Palm Beach
with information about the girls.
From their own profiles on the pop¬
ular Web site MySpace.com, he
obtained copies of their discussions
about their use of alcohol and mari¬
juana.
He took his research to a meet¬
ing with prosecutors in early 2006,
where he sought to cast doubt on the
teens’ reliability.
~ The private eyes had dug up
03956-84
•
enough dirt on the girls to make
prosecutors skeptical. Not only did
some of the girls have issues with
drugs or alcohol but also some had
criminal records and other troubles,
Epstein’s legal team claimed. And at
least one of them, they said, lied
when she told police she was
younger than 18 when she started
performing massages for Epstein.
After the meeting, prosecutors
postponed their decision to take the
case to a grand jury.
In the following weeks, police
received complaints that two of the
victims or their families had been
harassed or threatened. Epstein’s
legal team maintains that its private
investigators did nothing illegal or
unethical during their research.
By then, relations' between
police and prosecutors were fraying.
At a key meeting with prosecutors
and the defense, Detective Joseph
Recarey, the lead investigator, was a
no-show, according to Epstein’s
attorney.
“The embarrassment . on the
prosecutor’s face was evident when,
the police officer never showed up
for the meeting,” attorney Jack
Goldberger said.
Later in April, Recarey walked
into a prosecutor’s office at fee state
attorney’s office and learned the
case was taking an unexpected turn.
The prosecutor, Lanna
Belohlavek, told Recarey fee state
attorney’s office had offered Epstein
a plea deal that would not require
him to serve jail time or receive a
felony conviction.
Recarey told her he disapproved
of fee plea offer.
The deal never came to pass,
however.
Future unclear after charge
On May 1, the department asked
prosecutors to approve warrants to
arrest Epstein on four counts of
unlawful sexual activity with a minor
and to charge his personal assistant,
Sarah Kellen, now 27, for her alleged
role in arranging fee visits. Police
officials also wanted to charge Rob¬
son, the self-described H*M Fleiss,
with lewd and lascivious dcts.
By then, the department was
frustrated wife the way fee state
attorney’s office had handled the
case. On the same day the warrants
were requested, Palm Beach Police
Chief Michael Reiter wrote a letter
to State Attorney Bany Krischer
suggesting he disqualify himself
from the case if he would not act
Two weeks later, Recarey was
told feat prosecutors had decided
once again to take the case to the t
grand jury. ’
It is not known how many of the
girls testified before the grand jury.
But Epstein’s defense team said one
girl who was subpoenaed — the one
who said she had sexual intercourse
wife Epstein — never showed up.
The grand jury’s indictment was
handed down in July. It was not the
one the police department had
wanted.
Instead of being slapped with a
charge of unlawful sexual activity
with a minor, Epstein was charged
wife one count of felony solicitation
of prostitution, which carries a
maximum penalty of five years in
prison. He was booked into the Palm
Beach County Jail early July 23 and
released hours later.
Epstein’s legal team “doesn’t
dispute feat he had girls over for
massages,” Goldberger said. But he
said their claims that they had sex¬
ual encounters with him lack credi¬
bility.
"They are incapable of being
believed,” he said. “They had crimi¬
nal records. They had accusations of
theft made against them by their
employers. There was evidence of
drug use by some of them.”
What remains for Epstein is yet
to be seen.
The Palm Beach Police Depart¬
ment has asked fee FBI to investi¬
gate fee case. It also has returned
lie $90,000 Epstein donated in 2004.
In New York, candidates for
governor and state attorney general
have vowed to return a total of at
least $60,000 in campaign contribu¬
tions from Epstein. Meanwhile,
Epstein's powerful friends have
remained silent as tabloids and :
Internet blogs feast on fee public
details of the police investigation.
Goldberger maintains Epstein’s
innocence but says fee legal team
has not ruled out a future plea deal.
He insists Epstein will emerge in fee
end wife his reputation untarnished.
“He will recover from this,” he
said. *

Epstein camp calls female accusers liars
By LARRY KELLER
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Attorneys and publicists for
Palm Beach financier Jeffrey
Epstein went on the offensive
Monday, contending that
teenage girls who have ac¬
cused Epstein of sexual she¬
nanigans at his waterfront
home are liars and saying that
the Palm Beach Police De¬
partment is “childish.”
"There never was any sex
between Jeffrey Epstein and
women,” his
B ' IB lead^ attorney,
from Idaho
where he was
_ with his fami-
Epstern jy.
Epstein did have young
women come to his house to
give him massages, Goldberg-
er said. “Mr. Epstein absolute¬
ly insisted anybody who came
to his house be over the age of
18. How he verified that, I don’t
know. The question is, did
anything illegal occur. The law
was not violated here.”
He had no explanation as to
why Epstein would pay girls or
women with no massage train¬
ing — as the alleged victims
said was the case — $200 to
$300 for their visits. “The
credibility of these witnesses
has been seriously ques¬
tioned,” Goldberger said.
Epstein, 53, was indicted
by a county grand jury last
month on a charge of felony
solicitation of prostitution. Af¬
ter an 11-month investigation
that included sifting through
Epstein’s trash and surveilling
his home. Palm Beach police
concluded there was enough
evidence to charge him with
sexual activity with minors.
When the grand jury indicted
Epstein on the less serious
charge, Police Chief Michael
Reiter referred the case to the
FBI to determine whether
there were federal law viola¬
tions.
After a spate of stories
about the case last week. New
York publicist Dan Klores —
whose client list has included
Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez
— said on Saturday that Ep¬
stein’s camp was ready “to get
their story out”

Attorney: Police gave media ‘distorted view
► EPSTEIN from IB '
They did that Monday via Gold-
berger and a Los Angeles publicist
for Miami criminal defense attorney
Roy Black, who also has represented
Epstein in the case.
“We just think there has been a
distorted view of this case in the me¬
dia presented by the Palm Beach po¬
lice,” Goldberger said.
Reiter has consistently declined
to comment on the case and did not
respond to a request for comment
Monday.
The implication that State Attor¬
ney Barry Krischer was easy on Ep¬
stein by presenting the case to a
grand jury rather than filing charges
directly against him is wrong, Gold¬
berger said.
The Palm Beach Police Depart¬
ment was “happy and ecstatic” that
the panel was going to review the
evidence. "I think what happened is
they weren’t happy with the result.
They decided to use the press to
embarrass Mr. Epstein.”
But records show that Reiter
wrote Krischer on May 1 — well be¬
fore the case went to the grand jury —
suggesting that Krischer “consider if
good and sufficient reason exists to
require your disqualification from the
prosecution of these cases.”
Rather than flat-out decline to
charge Epstein, Krischer referred
the case to the grand jury to “ap¬
pease” the chief, Goldberger said.
A state attorney's spokesman
would say only that the office refers
cases to the grand jury when there
are issues with the viability of the
evidence or witnesses’ credibility.
Both the state attorney and the
grand jury concluded there was not
sufficient evidence that Epstein had
sex with minors, according to Gold¬
berger. “It was just a childish perfor¬
mance by the Palm Beach Police
Department,” Goldberger said.
The defense attorney said one of
the alleged victims who claimed she
was a minor was in fact over the age
of 18. Another alleged victim who
was subpoenaed to testify to the
grand jury failed to do so. Epstein’s

accusers, he added, have histories of
drug abuse and thefts. ‘These wom¬
en are liars. We’ve established that”
But why would they all invent
their stories about meeting Epstein
for sexual massages?
T don’t have an answer as to what
was the motivation for these women
to come forward and make these al¬
legations,” Goldberger said.
